GIRAFFE MANOR, NAIROBI

GIRAFFE MANOR, NAIROBI

STYLE OF A SCOTTISH HUNTING LODGE

Famed for the resident giraffe that casually roam the grounds, the stately Giraffe Manor resides in a leafy suburb on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Aptly named, this is one of Kenya’s more unique boutique hotels. From your bedroom window, you might find yourself face-to-face with a wild Rothschild giraffe; they have freedom to roam throughout the gorgeous gardens and manicured lawns of this grand 1930s manor house. They spend their time cropping ivy from its gabled walls, and are known to pop their heads through the breakfast room windows in search of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary next door.

When not feeding the giraffes, you can foray into the city or simply relax across the hotel’s sunny terraces and tranquil courtyards. Spread across the original manor house and a newer building, rooms are inspired by the style of a Scottish hunting lodge, with romantic four poster beds and antique furnishings throughout.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
